Divide the number 480 in a ratio of 3:5

Mathematics
2 answers:
Schach [20]3 years ago

If it is a ratio of 3:5 you are dividing 480 into 8 parts (3+5).


So divide 480 by 8: 480/8 = 60


Then the ratio is (3x60):(5x60) or 180:300


To check it is correct, add up the two parts to see that they come to 480:


180+300 = 480. All good.


Hope this helps

Answer:

The number 480 after dividing in the ratio 3:5 are 180 and 300

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to divide the number 480 in the ratio 3:5

Let the numbers after dividing be 3x and 5x

(3x:5x=3:5)

3x+5x=480

⇒ 8x=480

Dividing both sides by 8, we get

x=60

So, the numbers after dividing are:

3×60=180

and 5×60=300

Hence, the number 480 after dividing in the ratio 3:5 are 180 and 300

Out of students appeared in an examination 75% passed in English, 55%. passed in Mathematics, 5% failed in both subjects and 21
rusak2 [61]

Based on the percentage that passed English and those who passed Mathematics and those who failed and passed both, the total number of students who appeared in the examination are 60 students.

The number of students who passed only in Math are 12 students.

<h3>What number of students sat in the exam?</h3>

This can be found as:

= Total who passed English only + Total who passed Math only + Total who failed both + Total who passed both

Assuming the total is n, the equation becomes:

n = 0.75n - 21 + 0.55n - 21 + 21 + 0.05n

n = 1.35n - 21

21 = 0.35n

n = 21 / 0.35

= 60 students

The number who passed mathematics only is:

= (60 x 55%) - students who passed both

= 33 - 21

= 12 students

Your thoughts are correct; Ned loses 14 points overall.

The reason the correctly answered questions do not factor into the answer is because that is not what the question is asking. Correct answers are not even mentioned :)
